NMB(X)24-3(-T)

On/Off, Floating Point, Non-Spring Return, 24 V

Torque min. 90 in-lb for control of damper surfaces up to 22 sq ft.

Application
For on/off and floating point control of dampers in HVAC systems. Actuator sizing
should be done in accordance with the damper manufacturer’s specifications.
The actuator is mounted directly to a damper shaft up to 1.05" in diameter by means
of its universal clamp, 1/2” self-centered default. A crank arm and several mounting
brackets are available for applications where the actuator cannot be direct coupled to
the damper shaft.

Operation
The actuator is not provided with and does not require any limit switches, but is
electronically protected against overload. The anti-rotation strap supplied with the
actuator will prevent lateral movement.
The NMB(X) series provides 95° of rotation and a visual indicator indicates position of
the actuator. When reaching the damper or actuator end position, the actuator
automatically stops. The gears can be manually disengaged with a button on the
actuator cover.
The NMB(X)24-3… actuators use a sensorless brushless DC motor, which is controlled
